[ProAsm]

Thanks TX, that's a nice explanation.
What is noticed is it kinda gives a small amount of initialising effect for older cards that do not have this feature.

I just love how easy this makes organizing all my maps and mods for playing. Thanks Proasm.

Just a few extra's that I worked on with the guys helping in this version is the overall aspect ratio.
If your Game Intro animation is wrong as it is in most cases, unzip this file to your root folder to correct it.

Of course you must remove the SwpAnim.zip if you have that.

Secondly we made it quite easy to create your own addon.
Example:
1. Create a folder - like MyAddon
2. Choose 4 maps you like, or make your own, put them in this folder.
3. Choose 4 music files and put them in this folder.
4. If want want to create any art etc put that in this folder, you will also need a .def file here with the same name as your addon (MyAddon.def).
5. In the Swp root folder copy the SwCustom.txt.sample and set all the maps, music, episode name etc to what you want and save it as your addon name MyAddon.cfg
Now zip up this file together with the MyAddon folder and put it in the Games folder.
Remove the old file and addon folder and go play the game

Here is the example we used during testing so you can see how its done.

Still working great! Thank you ProAsm! I've compared the current widescreen FOV to the original version running on my PowerMac with a 4:3 crt and they match perfectly.

Thanks downloading now, testing later.

It's been a while since last release... how is it progressing so far? For what I remember there were only 2 bugs left, but none so serious.

[ProAsm]

Sorry filipe, been pretty ill and am slowly resurfacing, but will be back soon

[filipetolhuizen]

No problem. Good to hear from you. Get well soon!

[playtard]

Get Well Soon!

Hope you live forever !

Hey, it's been a long time... Got better? I have some news that might interest you. The HUD, Weapons and Menus on eDuke32 have been converted to also fit on widescreen. Is it possible to port this convertion to SWP? Now everything would look the way they meant to on any monitor.
